6 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (7 Sept - Results & Review)

1. Still Trying To Make Fetch Happen

Much was made Monday about how The Vision is back to full strength with Bronson Reed back in the fold and a resurgent Bron Breakker terrorizing the roster. But is anyone actually quaking in their boots?

You’ve got 946 out here battering security, jumping the Bloodline in the parking lot with tire irons, and setting cars on fire. That sounds more like a legit force than a group boasting Create-A-Wrestler Austin Theory and his canoodling queen Maxxine Dupri. Plus you’ve still got the Bloodline itself running around.

But WWE devoted a lot of the show to The Vision, including the group approaching Paul Heyman backstage like a child would approach their father and ask if he was proud of them, the suggestion being that they still want his approval and wise counsel. Heyman, however, chastised them for celebrating that Oba Femi was vanquished when he was still breathing, and then he stormed off.

Even with Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker seemingly back in gear as strong heels, The Vision is a damaged brand after a year of being constantly in flux and kept afloat by Theory and Logan Paul. It’s unclear what the solution is, but it’s laughable to have The Vision pretending they’re running Raw when, on the same episode, Royce Keys is torching vehicles and threatening the Bloodline (and anyone else) with violence.

At least when the Judgment Day claimed they ran Raw, they had the titles to back it up, and there was no Bloodline on the red brand.
